I didn't have an invite and tried to join, almost a week ago, and just received an announcement that it was pending etc. and would be processed later and that was the end of it. So yes it feels exclusionary to me, whatever else it is. The idea of venture capital - given ISIS and extinctions around the world etc. etc. also sickens me a bit but I would have joined - Facebook sickens me as well.
